Toyota-Daihatsu issues sudden recall for Raize, Agya, and more in Indonesia – Here’s why
Toyota and Daihatsu have announced a recall in Indonesia for several models, including the Toyota Raize, Toyota Agya, Daihatsu Rocky, and Daihatsu Ayla. The recall is due to a potential issue with the braking system’s Electronic Control Unit (ECU), which could affect braking performance under certain conditions.
The recall applies to the following models in Indonesia:
• Daihatsu Rocky 1.2 CVT (produced June 2021 – July 2024)
• Daihatsu Ayla 1.2 CVT (produced March 2023 – July 2024)
• Toyota Raize (produced June 8, 2021 – July 16, 2024)
• Toyota Agya (produced July 22, 2022 – July 29, 2024)
Owners in Indonesia have been advised to visit authorized Toyota and Daihatsu service centersto undergo an ECU inspection and reprogramming at no cost.
The issue stems from a software problem in the ECU, which controls various vehicle functions, including the brake booster. If not updated, the faulty programming could cause the brake pedal to feel unusually hard, requiring more effort to stop the car and potentially increasing braking distance. While no accidents have been reported, Toyota and Daihatsu are taking precautionary measures to ensure customer safety.
Toyota and Daihatsu in Indonesia have assured customers that the fix is a simple ECU software update, with no component replacements necessary. The process is free of charge and takes approximately one hour.
Sri Agung Handayani, Marketing & Corporate Communication Director of PT Astra Daihatsu Motor, stated:
“We invite Daihatsu Rocky and Ayla owners to visit our authorized service centers for a free ECU inspection and reprogramming. The process takes about an hour and does not require any component replacements.”
Similarly, Henry Tanoto, Vice President Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM), encouraged Toyota owners to take part in the recall:
“We encourage Toyota Raize and Agya owners in Indonesia to visit authorized Toyota service centers for an ECU check and software update to ensure the brake booster functions properly.”
